Pearse Doherty: ...of this assault on human life. Israel has targeted civilians and civilian infrastructure. It has decimated homes, hospitals and schools across Gaza. It has laid waste to Gaza, including its land, infrastructure and people, and has done so with impunity. Worse still, it does so with foreign money and weapons of war. We are not bystanders. Ireland can and should act in solidarity with...

I am not surprised, and I can understand why, many in the Tánaiste's party are questioning its purpose when Fianna Fáil is set to facilitate the election of a Fine Gael Taoiseach for the fourth time since 2016. We are told the front-runner for the highest office in the land is Simon Harris. Let us...

The Government landed with helicopters and all the rest. Much of the damage done at that time to properties such as in Swan Park has been rectified. The issue is the Burnfoot flood relief scheme still has not...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (14 Dec 2023)

Pearse Doherty: ...targets are far too low, and still it is failing to deliver on them. As we know, the housing crisis is not just an issue of supply, it is also an affordability crisis, with an entire generation of people unable to find homes they can afford. Last week, I raised with the Tánaiste the report by the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland which found that the cost of new-build homes...

Pearse Doherty: ...anything is substantively changing here. All I am convinced of is that the can is being kicked down the road.

The Minister has just deferred the zoned land tax, and this proposal should be deferred at the very least. It should not be amended just to tidy up the problems that existed last year.
